Tendon overuse injuries, or tendinopathies, are a significant burden in elite sports, causing pain, reducing athletic performance, and sometimes curtailing careers.

Throwing is a fundamental athletic skill, critical in sports ranging from baseball and cricket to handball and American football. Developing and refining this complex motor skill requires countless repetitions and precise feedback. With the advent of Virtual Reality (VR) and virtual environments (VEs), there's growing interest in using these technologies to supplement traditional throwing practice.
